Hamamatsu web, print and branding studio offering SEO, content marketing and listing ads
About Maker's Mark
Maker's Mark Inc. is a small creative company in Kamijima, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu, founded on 14 October 2005. Hideaki Asai is representative director, and the company had ten employees as of 31 May 2025. Capital is not published.
The company covers a wide range of creative work. Its business lines include websites and e-commerce, SEO, content marketing, web consulting and ad management; editorial and graphic design such as brochures, catalogues, newsletters, packaging and logos; branding including CI, VI and recruitment branding; promotional video, AR-linked content and drone footage; media buying across print, broadcast and transit; and event planning for conferences and international gatherings.
Website projects follow a full cycle. Strategy is set through meetings with the client. Design draws on research into the target audience. The content team handles interviews, photography, video and writing so clients do not need to supply manuscripts. Sites are custom built on a CMS such as WordPress with mobile layouts. After launch, the team runs PDCA support, analytics and consulting, and it will take over sites built by other firms. Basic SEO is included in standard builds, and SEO is also sold as its own service. The SEO work covers internal and external SEO, keyword-linked listing ads on request, and advice on update frequency, with SEO treated as part of content marketing and owned media.
The published portfolio has 58 entries. Clients include Nikkei Inc. for international forum sites, FCC Co., Ltd., Kawai Musical Instruments, Daytona, a law office, schools, housing builders and welfare organisations. No clinic, dental or medical project appears in the list. The company's strength lies in manufacturing B2B sites and local consumer businesses, and it has completed more than 1,000 production projects.
Prices are published as starting points before tax: website production from 400,000 yen, web consulting from 100,000 yen a month, and site operation from 10,000 yen a month, including sites built elsewhere.
For a dental practice in western Shizuoka, Maker's Mark could deliver a branded website with original photography and video, plus a recruitment site for hiring staff. Practices should note the absence of healthcare examples and ask how the team would handle Japan's medical advertising rules.
